| Recommendation for an HDMI cable under $200 for audio only Unfortunately, in a revealing system, I honestly never found satisfaction in a I2s cable under $200. Even over that price, many fall short. My current favorite, Audiolund xtrem cu I2s. Under $400 , custom built to your equipment specs and built li... | |
| Moving to separates An AVR contains EVERYTHING in the same box, hence the inevitable close interaction between all the parts in it. Separates do just the opposite, separating all the parts so there is no negative interactions. The result should always be a purer, cle... | |
| Is the "improvement" real or imnagined? Listening chair is important. Mine has to be clothed and back rest slightly lower than shoulder blades. Ears at tweeters level. It definitely will make a difference from a high back leather chair by example | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? I shoot for 70db, 75db max. Listening chair 9 ft from speakers. | |
| Room Treatment A lot of good info already provided. The part mentioned about over doing it with absorbers is of the most importance as it happened to me. Bottom line, a combo of bass traps, absorbers, absorbers/diffusers and diffusers in the right combination wi... | |
| Do I need a headphone or speaker to appreciate high-end DACs? With headphones you will save a lot of money on room acoustics :) | |
| Maybe critical listening skills are bad? Reviewers can easily drive you down the equipment rabbit hole. I concurr with @mahgister that paying attention to the room acoustics is of primary importance if you ever want to truly be able to appreciate the differences that various equipments ... | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype EVERYTHING matters for sound. Next discussion. | |
| Thinking of changing things up. Need advice on DAC/Streamers @kray I have the same setup, Zenith mk3 to Tubadour V. The answer was a DDC to turn the USB connection into I2s. World of difference. Like 3 veils lifted, for real. Of course, quality of cables and fuses make a big difference too. Everything mat... | |
| What happened to the Innous discussion It was a sarcastic poorly worded discussion hence rightfully deleted. I still have a bluesound with Teddy Pardo LPS in my secondary system. In my primary system I use Innuos ZENith mk3 to my dac via a U18 DDC using the I2s connection. It sounds e... | |
| Analogue front end. You want more weight, scale and dynamics.Where do you start upgrading? Lewn is 100% right. It's a personal trial and error thing. Always will be. It doesn't matter what part of your system you are trying to optimize, it will always take multiple attempts to get the sound your ears desire. And it will take years, and ... | |
| At what level of Streamer and Dac does a DDC add no sonic benefit? I use Innuos ZENith mk3 USB into U18 DDC and I2s to Audio mirror Tubadour V dac. The difference vs USB direct to dac is not subtle. Unbelievable indeed.USB is extremely muffled in comparison. The veil being lifted with I2s completely applies in th... |
